sump pumps
Flood prevention machines
Sump pumps are devices that remove water from a sump—a pit where water collects, typically in a basement or crawlspace.
When water rises to a certain level, the pump activates and moves the water away from the building through a discharge pipe: The sump pump kept the basement dry during the storm.
Essential in flood-prone areas or homes with high water tables.
